Blender is a completely free 3D graphics package. The advanced interface of the program allows to adapt and redistribute all elements under itself so that all necessary tools always were at hand.

By means of the big variety of tools, the program allows to carry out detailed modelling of organically looking characters, to carry out study of volume models. Converting any model into a controlled three-dimensional character has now become much easier thanks to sophisticated deformation calculation algorithms.

Blender offers comprehensive 3D modeling tools, advanced animation capabilities, and a highly reliable renderer, all for free.

The program is also perfect for creating animations. Simple actions such as character movement cycles and complex actions such as lip movements during conversation can be processed by the program. Complex and dynamic objects that interact with each other and the environment are now easily customizable and manageable. Thanks to this, you can get such naturalistically looking effects as pouring water or a developing flag.

The program renderer is one of the most trusted and reliable, and is the standard for the 3D modeling industry.

Blender is not only a modeling program, but also a community of artists, from beginner enthusiasts to computer graphics professionals who, day after day, help to improve and develop the product.

Blender is a 3D creation suite type application. It is a completely free and open source tool.

Blender provides the ability to carry out detailed modeling of organically looking characters. It lets the users to convert any model into a controlled three-dimensional character.

This program provides perfection in creating animations. It also has the ability to perform complex operations all at once.

Therefore, this has become the most used application for professionals even though it is completely free. This also has extensive community support and tutorials worldwide.

However, it needs a higher learning curve for beginners. As an open source tool, sometimes quick responses from the support team become difficult.

Blender is a free software used to make 3d design or animations. its a very good beginner friendly software to use and it has very comfortable features. we can learn by self without any ones guide or demo. Blender has many features like texturing, rigging, sculpting etc. By this features we can make creative design. Its a incredibly versatile software. This Blender software is absolutely compete in terms of features and output quality with full-fledged commercial 3D software package. its a very professional software to handle.

Blender cycles faster than all other software I have used. The GPU kernels have been rewritten and seem perfectly optimized when I run them. The stat says 2 to 8 times faster in real-world scenes. The is fundamentally game changing for me as an animator. Lag has absolutely disappeared from my list of troubles. No more pain in the bug waiting!! It also can remove noise in a fantastic way that preserves all of the details of the image.
